My daughter talked me into this Lawn Fawn set. Well actually, it didn't require much arm-twisting. It was already on my wish list. She only encouraged me to buy it sooner! lol I love the sentiments and the build-your-own pizza design. Naturally, I had to use it for a little card to tuck into her bag.

I stamped the heart-shaped pizza and added all the tiny toppings in different colors. Love! So quick and easy. I used So Saffron and Close to Cocoa markers to color the crust and pizza cutter. I hand-cut the pizza cutter and glued it in place. You'd never know it was placed there to cover a smudge! :) Here's a close-up of the pizza cutter so you can see the pretty silver shimmer. Wink of Stella pens are the best!

Did I mention how much I adore this new die by Avery Elle? I will be using this one a lot. I really love the striped paper I used for the envelope. It's from the Brights Collection dsp by Stampin' Up. I think it channels those old-fashioned striped awnings, perfect for a pizza parlor vibe!

I got a new die set by Avery Elle specifically to make little cards to tuck in my daughter's lunch box or backpack. She's been having a rough year at school. I love the darling scalloped envelope! It's also a smaller card canvas, so it's been fun to use my stamps to make these. :)

I was lucky enough to win the entire latest Verve Stamps release. Seriously! This stamp set called Hip Hop Bunnies was included. Isn't it darling? It's perfect for a little pick-me-up. The sentiment is my favorite image in the whole set.

I stamped the bunny on white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers, along with three carrots. The tiny bow was stamped on the paper I used for the envelope. And yes, I hand-cut everything!

The grass was cut with a die by My Favorite Things from Garden Green cardstock. Once everything was glued in place, I stamped the sentiment in the upper corner.

I am so in love with this Envie die by Avery Elle! It has a pierced detail that adds so much to the overall look. I pulled out an old Stampin' Up patterned paper called Spring Fling. The double-sided print adds a nice surprise when it's opened.

I have two more mini cards to share using this die, so stay tuned. I have several in-process cards on my desk too. Just having a bit of a mojo block! I tucked this into my daughter's bag when she left for a school coast trip two days ago. I can't wait to hear all about it when she gets home tonight. I have missed her so much!
